Newt Gingrich: Shooting Caused By “Increasing Intensity Of Hostility” On The Left

This Wednesday, a growing trend of hostility on the left to violent incidents by former speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), taking for example this morning’s shooting incident which took place at congressional Republicans’ baseball practice.

Gingrich went on to Fox News to explain apparently, “its part of a pattern,” adding that there is “An increasing intensity of hostility on the left.”

Another example of this pointed out by Gingrich, was the intimidation and violence toward conservatives on college campuses, as another sign of the hostility spread by the left toward Republicans and President Trump.

Kathy Griffin was also targeted by Newt, for publishing gory images posing with the severed head of President Trump, which Gingrich considers to be the left advocating violence against Trump and other Republicans. As a result, CNN fired Griffin from the New Year’s Eve program.

So in a way, the left seems to be encouraging and inspiring of these acts of violence.

In addition, Gingrich explained how he talked to college students on regular basis, adding how they complained being threatened to if they openly state they are supportive of Trump.

“I’ve had college students tell me they get threatened with being beaten up, some of them get death threats,” Gingrich said.

A large number of people also put part of the blame on people like Loretta Lynch, who have previously called for people to “march, bleed and die” resisting President Trump, and now, as a result of such violence condoning words and actions, 5 people were shot this morning, including the House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.
